After touring the U.S. as a singing family troupe, Maria and Captain von Trapp decided to settle in Stowe, Vermont, after spending a summer here in the mountains. In the 1940’s, they found a great deal on an idyllic farm with sweeping views atop the rolling green hills. They raised livestock, grew produce, and began welcoming guests into their 27-bedroom home in the summer of 1950. In 1980, the lodge suffered a tragic fire, from which the original building could not recover. A stunning new 96-room alpine lodge was built in its place, with a luxurious spa and gym, gardens, farmland, and world-class recreational facilities on the 2,600 acre property. 

 

In a sea of Vermont craft IPAs, Johannes von Trapp found himself craving the light, refreshing brews he enjoyed while visiting the European countryside — beers “you can have at lunch but won’t need a nap after.” So, in 2010, Johannes, the youngest child of Maria and Captain von Trapp, brought his dream to fruition, gathered a group of the finest local brewers, and began von Trapp Brewing. Since then, the brewery has grown immensely, moving into a state-of-the-art, 30,000-square-foot brewery with the capacity to brew up to 36,000 barrels of beer annually. You’ll see exactly how their beers are made, learn the purpose of each piece of equipment, and enjoy some behind-the-scenes information that you can’t get anywhere else! 

Johannes' son Sam now runs the brewery and will provide your tour, if he’s available.
